1. Press the pairing button three times. The yellow indicator light on the front of the TV Streamer will now flash three times every 2 seconds to indicate that it is ready to be paired in channel 3.
2. While pairing mode is active, turn on your sound processor.

Streaming

Start streaming
Turn on the TV, stereo, computer, or other audio device connected to the TV Streamer. Make sure your sound processors are turned on as well. Streaming may be started in one of two ways:

Option A

1. Press and hold the wireless streaming button on your sound processor for about three seconds.
2. An audible melody or a flashing light (depending on the type of sound processor) will be followed by streamed audio via the TV Streamer.

Option B
If you have a Cochlear Baha Remote Control (optional), simply press the streaming button [no. 3 in figure 7] on this Baha Remote Control. For more information, refer to the Baha Remote Control** manual.

Start streaming on a 2nd or 3rd TV

Streamer unit See figure 7
If your sound processor is paired with more than one streaming device, you can start streaming in two ways.

Option A
Press and hold the wireless streaming button on your sound processor for about three seconds a 2nd or 3rd time to access the 2nd or 3rd Cochlear streaming device.

Option B
Press the streaming button on a Baha Remote Control a 2nd or 3rd time to access the 2nd or 3rd Cochlear streaming device.
The Cochlear streaming device(s) are indicated by the letters A, B, or C, and the streaming device in use is shown on the Baha Remote Control display.

Stop streaming

• Briefly press the streaming button on your sound processor.
  This will cancel streaming and return to the last program used.

• To stop streaming with the Baha Remote Control** press the “P” button, located in the center of the keypad.

• If you are using the telephone with Cochlear Wireless Phone Clip, streaming from the TV Streamer will be temporarily disrupted. When you have ended your phone call,  streaming will resume.

Note: If you move out of your TV Streamer range (>7m) but return within the range before 5 minutes have passed, your sound processor will automatically reconnect and continue streaming.

Controls

Volume control
The TV Streamer is designed to provide a comfortable listening level from the moment it is activated. However, for some devices or listening environments, it may be desirable to adjust the listening volume, and doing so can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Keep in mind that volume adjustments on the TV Streamer apply to the streamed signal only, not to the volume of normal environmental sounds. Use the “+” and “-” keys [no. 7 and 8 in figure 1] to adjust the volume to a comfortable level. Make sure that your sound processors are comfortably adjusted before you change the settings with the volume control. In most cases, this adjustment should only be made once since the TV Streamer will store the most recently set volume level. Use the Baha Remote Control 2 (optional) to adjust both the streaming volume level and the sound processor microphone volume level. Ask your hearing care professional for more information about this accessory. The volume can, in some cases, be further adjusted at the signal source, for example by turning the TV volume down. This will adjust the volume of the streamed sound transmitted wirelessly to the sound processors. Adjusting the TV volume will affect the listening volume in the room as well.
Adjusting sound processor and streaming volume is only possible with the Cochlear Baha Remote Control and Cochlear Baha Sound Processor.

Mono/stereo control

The two-position switch [no. 3 in figure 1] may be used to set Stereo (two channels) or Mono (one channel) audio streaming. For binaural fittings, the switch should preferably be set to the Stereo position. For the monaural fitting, it should be set to the Mono position.

Adjustable delay mode

In rare cases there may be a misalignment between the audio streamed to the sound processors and the sound coming from the TV speakers (echo) or even a misalignment between the streamed audio and the TV picture (lip-sync). This may be evident in more complex audio setups where the TV Streamer is not connected directly to the TV (e.g. through a set-top box or another auxiliary unit). To overcome such misalignments the streaming delay from the TV Streamer can be adjusted as follows:

1. Make sure that the TV Streamer is turned on and that your sound processors are receiving the streamed audio.
2. Press and hold the pairing button [no. 2 in figure 1] for 3 seconds. The TV Streamer will then enter the adjustable delay mode where the green indicator light on the front of the TV Streamer will flash once every 2 seconds. The yellow indicator light will be on whenever an audio signal is present.
3. Use the “+” and “-” keys [no. 7 and 8 in figure 1] on the top of the TV Streamer to increase or decrease the delay of the streamed signal in 10-ms steps. The streamed signal can be delayed in the range of 0-250 ms.
4. When the optimal alignment between the audio streamed to the sound processors and the sound coming from the TV speakers or alignment between the streamed audio and the TV picture has been reached, press and hold the pairing button for 3 seconds. Now the TV Streamer will resume normal operation, indicated by the green indicator light is constantly on.

The offset set in adjustable delay mode will be stored in the TV Streamer. If you do not exit the adjustable delay mode by pressing and holding the pairing button for 3 seconds,  the TV Streamer will automatically resume normal operation after 30 minutes. To reset the delay to 0 ms (factory setting), press and hold the pairing button while simultaneously powering on the TV Streamer.
